Welcome.

Take a moment to settle into your space.

No need for perfect posture,

Just enough comfort to pause.

Begin with one steady breath in,

And a slow breath out.

Let the exhale signal the start of a lighter,

Less crowded moment.

Today's focus is simple.

Clearing mental clutter.

Not by forcing thoughts away,

But by creating more space around them.

Imagine your mind as a desk.

Some days it's organized,

Other days it's covered in papers,

Reminders and unfinished tasks.

Right now,

You're simply clearing a little room to work.

Bring your attention to your breath.

Not to control it,

But to give your mind a clean,

Empty corner of that desk.

Notice the inhale.

Notice the exhale.

That's your open space.

As thoughts come in,

Things to fix,

Remember or revisit.

Acknowledge each one as if you're picking up a sheet of paper.

You don't have to solve it,

Just place it gently to the side for now.

A small stack waiting for later.

Each time your mind pulls you toward a thought,

Return to the breath and add a little more space.

It's not about emptying the mind,

It's about reducing the noise so you can think more clearly.

Now,

Notice how your body feels with this extra room.

Your shoulders,

Jaw,

Hands.

See if anything softens when the mental clutter quiets.

Take one last slow breath in and release it fully,

As if clearing the desk one final time.

When you are ready,

Open your eyes or lift your gaze.

Carry this sense of spaciousness into whatever comes next.
